Kaliakmanis leads the nation in passing yards (1150).

I'm guessing he was leading after their game since they played Friday night. But after Saturday's games, he's now 10th in the country.

In what... total yards passing? Passing yards per game? Have you a link?

The reason I ask, according to B1G stats he has 287.5 yards per game. That's pretty good, but I'd be shocked if it was 10th in the entire country. Athan has played four games; many QBs have played only 3. Drake Lindsey started 3 games, and played, what... one half of the Northwestern State game, if that?

Lindsey went 8 for 9 for 139 yards and 1 TD vs. Northwestern State. There was really no need for him to play much in that game. He certainly would have padded his stats had he continued.

 

While most eyes will be on "how does Drake do?" my focus will be on "how does our pass D do?" given this statistic.

Unfortunately Cal provided a lot of tape on how to shred our defense with an aggressive pass-first game plan. I'm sure this has been a focus of the bye week but it looks like we're probably going to be tested again.

As others have noted I'm glad that Kaliakmanis has found a better fit and is so far doing well. I'm sure he still has some Minnesota chip on his shoulder to work off on Saturday. Need the D to step up plus Drake and the O to get the W.

Otherwise it looks like it will be a glorious Saturday morning into early afternoon...clear skies in the mid-70s. Great weather for a maroon-out.

Cal threw for like 30 yards in the second half
